It works in EL7 and F30. In EL8 it seems to be intentional :

$ rpm -q --changelog systemd |grep tmp.mount

- unit: don't add Requires for tmp.mount (#1619292)

$ grep -E 'tmpfs|tmp.mount' systemd.spec |grep -v devpts

# No tmp-on-tmpfs by default in RHEL. bz#876122 bz#1578772
rm -f 
%{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount
- unit: don't add Requires for tmp.mount (#1619292)
- avoid /tmp being mounted as tmpfs without the user's will (#1578772)
- do not mount /tmp as tmpfs (#1578772)
- Enable /var/run and /var/lock on tmpfs


The "remove" stanza leads to the missing "WantedBy".

Unfortunately all bz# are private ... so why they remove this 
functionality? We then at least known what impact it has when
enabled.
